Hey, there are some small blemishes/problems on my 2003 EX sedan that I'd like to get some advice and tips on.

I really want to get rid of these annoying warning labels. Is there any way to get them off easily and not damage the fabric beneath?



The black plastic running beneath the side windows looks a little wrinkly and dry. Any way to fix the appearance and make it look richer?


Also, the same lining beneath the side windows is starting to show some of the metal beneath it. Any fixes for that?


The black plastic that runs above the doors, on the roof, looks a little weathered. Some parts look very light and some parts are white. Any way to restore the color and add some protection?



The headlights look like new, but upon closer inspection there are some blemishes. Mainly some whiteness. I'm almost positive it's on the outside of the glass. Any sort of solution to restore it to look clear again?




And finally, the dealership I bought the car from put a really annoying sticker on the trunk, and I'd like to get rid of it. Do I use the same technique as debadging?




Thanks!!!

 

for some of the black plastic parts you car try some of this stuff, its Mothers Back To Black, it looks like this. you might want to do a couple treatments for it to be nice polish black again



for the black thing that is showing metal, you can repaint it black

and for the headlights, if the stuff is on the outside, try this Meguiars PlastX, and it looks like this



for that dealer sticker just try some dental floss and saw down on it , i guess you can pretty much use this DIY

Yea, you can repaint the black trim. However, the original material is some weird rubberized coating and the paint won't last nearly as long, unless you use some really high quality paint that is good at standing up to the sun.

 

+1 on the Meguiars PlastX. Good stuff.

On your rain channels (on the roof), you can try that back to black stuff. I've never used it so I don't know.

On the window trim, you'd pretty much have to remove them from the door, sand them down, and repaint them. That's the only way unless you want to replace them. Honestly, it's completely cosmetic.

The airbag stickers will not come off. They are heat set onto the material. Some people on the forum have gone to fabric stores and bought a different fabric to rewrap the headliner, visors, and door panels with.

And yeah, the usual debadging technique should work on that dealership sticker.
